Our Team

Angela Dalton

Angela is a mom of four, a Mama's Friend mama, and has been a doula with

Mama's Friend since 2013.

In the spring of 2018 Angela purchased Mama's Friend, and is thrilled by the opportunity to continue developing

Mama's Friend, and to continue empowering mamas near and far.

Angela has over 20 years experience in an around nursery, labor and delivery, and has attended hundreds of births around the world. Angela is pro "knowing your options" for moms and "minimal interventions" for mom and baby unless "medically necessary" and knows - personally - that medicine serves a purpose given certain events and circumstances. Her practice is evidence-based and is centered on "go with the flow, but know your options" - she wants mamas (and dads) to feel educated on all their options, listened to and respected, and their choices supported during pregnancy, labor, and delivery, as well as with their newborn.

Angela and Mama's Friend are for “birth your own way” birth options - she and her team support all births, no matter what mamas' choices are.

Doulas In Training

Kate Morgan

Kate is a mom of four, a Mama's Friend mama, and a doula in training. She is certifying through Childbirth International as a Birth Doula and training with Angela.

Kate met Mama's Friend in 2016 when she was pregnant with her first child. Little did she know just how much that would truly impact and change her life. All four of her births take place in different places yet she was supported, listened to, and valued in each of them. After her third, the desire to become a doula grew and grew, but surprisingly become pregnant a fourth time with her miracle baby. And her dream of becoming a doula was put on hold. Timing is everything, and during this time she really felt called to pursue a doula certification. Shortly after the birth of her fourth she started her training alongside Angela.
She truly believes and understands the value of knowing your options and how this impacts your pregnancy and future. Having a doula changed her life. She is ready to help other women feel empowered, supported, valued and to stand by their side as they embrace this beautiful chapter of their lives.
